Deteacher Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 From now on, I'm going to make the weeks run from Wednesday to Wednesday. I'm working late every day of the week except Wednesdays. Seems that's the best day where I can get the new game up and running. Please take note of this change. Thanks!

darthkur Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 7,165 People with an actual cab and spinner are going to have a drastic advantage on this game. Using a joystick your movement is limited to one speed. Some balloons fall too rapidly to be caught this way when on the opposite side of the screen from where you are.

maximebeauvais Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) this is a fun game, I do remember playing it Was this game played with spinner or trackball in the original cab? EDIT: I guess that I found the answer !!!! I don't have a spinner but I do have a trackball and I will try to use the trackball to see. good luck everyone Edited November 5, 2009 by maximebeauvais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's been awhile since I've played it in MAME, but I used to use a mouse. There might need to be some sensitivity adujstments necessary, but mouse control should work with Kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermac Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm gonna try to use my trackball as well. I wonder how well a Stelladapter and Paddles would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I wonder how well a Stelladapter and Paddles would do? Terrible. The same with the Driving controller. At least that's the experience I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 The trick for this game is to play with the analog control setting. Once the game is up and running, press tab to open up the game menu. Select analog controls. From there, I've been playing with the dial sensitivity and dial speed settings. I've just about got it tweaked to where I can play pretty well with a mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please list the specific info on how to go about that? When I pressed the analog setting and moved the mouse around it didn't register. I'm using mame32v103b.

Deteacher Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ok, that's the end of this week's game. Next game coming right up. I guess spinner games should be avoided. Lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
